  GENERALITIES

  It's a good idea to know the countries and their capitals.  This will 
give you an inevitable advantage.  Also, you shouldn't have a problem 
with time if you don't make any mistakes.  Searching any one place takes 
two to three hours, calling Interpol takes three, and plane trips take a 
varying amount of time.  My advice is to write down any clues you are 
not sure about, because the game is small enough that they will crop up 
again.
  Also, note that with over ten cases before capturing Carmen you will 
definitely capture one henchman more than once.  You also have at least 
a 50% chance of having to rescue the same treasure twice, but I won't 
get into the math there.  A future version of the FAQ may contain hints 
as to what clues point you where, but the information is harder to 
extract than in the sequel.

Note that a lot of the options are, in fact, bogus.  The fake hobbies 
are music, skydiving, and swimming.  The fake features are limp and 
scar.  The fake automobile is the race car.  All hair types are real, 
but there are no brunette men or black-haired women.

only reasonably sure of four, which I have asterisked):
